Sounds like Ireland to me.
I am happy becouse I've been thinking of the shit I've gone through in my life, the good the bad and the horrible, from my best memories to the years of mental trauma. I'm happy becouse now that I've finally gotten through it all I'm happy. Not just happy with my current situation. But happy with who I am, and all the shit I went through made me who I am so I'm glad I went through it. I'm happy becouse I know unlike alot of people I know who I am without any illusions, and I like myself. I'm happy I'm me.
I've hit that stage a year or 2 ago. It is indeed an awesome feeling. It's the time that you realize just how badass you really are for not committing to self-harm or suicide, given all the shit you had to go through for however long you've been down your whole life, and even if driven to it, you overcame it. It's that point in life that you no longer give a shit about what the world thinks, and finally don't feel bad about it because for what you've been through, you realize how entitled to it you really are. This is what individuality really feels like to me.
I think it only comes second to a term I once heard called "retarded happy". Not to use the term offensively, but like the comedian stated, "Have you seen these people? They're so ridiculously happy, I don't think anything in the world will
ever bring them down.".
EDIT:
Now that I come and think of it, the last time I ever felt that good was back before I hit double digits in age. I would think so after having heard my family say stuff regarding that some time ago, I stopped being a cheerful person, stopped smiling, stopped running around, and even my imagination took a hit and creativity was more limited and realistic and in a sense, too careful. As you could tell from some of my more recent posts, also thanks to being here long enough, I've been feeling more comfortable about getting some of my works and ideas some exposure again. Hell, it's actually become a New Year's Resolution as well for me to get cracking on being creative and applying it as well (appropriate as well since I'm thinking of leaving my job and hunting for something where my creativity CAN be valued; and get paid while at it. More artist/less designer.). Finally, I can work towards MY aspirations again, more because it would make me happy, than because it would net me a fair income. To me, art, and developing ideas should be fun, not work. like that old Confucius saying I posted sometime earlier.
Hell, silly as it sounds, I think the reason for so much awesome weather as of late has also been thanks to actually being in a much better average mood lately. I'm not kidding. I think we're going to have an early Spring next year at this rate.
Hehe, on Uplink I just had a man arrested for, as his newly edited global criminal records database file says, "Telling bad puns, losing a pie eating contest, and breaking bad pun parole." Hacking into the criminal database is so much fun!
Oh god yes it is. I got someone arrested for eating pie, selling grapefruit and mewing parole.
I haven't hit that high in Uplink yet. I'm still getting used to how the game works and covering my tracks efficiently and effectively before causing zany havoc.
